The English Renaissance has long been considered a period with a
particular focus on imitation; however, much related scholarship
has misunderstood or simply marginalized the significance of
emulative practices and theories in the period. This work uses the
interactions of a range of English Renaissance plays with ancient
and Renaissance rhetorics to analyze the conflicted uses of
emulation in the period (including the theory and praxis of
rhetorical imitatio, humanist notions of exemplarity, and the
stage's purported ability to move spectators to emulate depicted
characters). This book emphasizes the need to see emulation not as
a solely (or even primarily) literary practice, but rather as a
significant aspect of Renaissance culture, giving insight into
notions of self, society, and the epistemologies of the period and
informed by the period's own sense of theory and history. Among the
individual texts examined here are Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus
and Hamlet, Jonson's Catiline, and Massinger's The Roman Actor
(with its strong relation to Jonson's Sejanus).
